Programs Offered at This Campus

With the healthcare field growing at a steady rate, there are many job opportunities each year for Medical Assistants. As a Medical Assistant, you will play a vital role in the operation of a physician’s office or other health-care facility.

Our esthetics program will teach you the science of skin care, so you can do facials and full-body treatments at health spas, beauty salons, hotels and doctors’ offices. Find out if our esthetics program is a good fit for you.

Like the medical assistant program, pharmacy technician training at Genesis prepares you to succeed as a valuable part of the patient care team. However, as a pharmacy technician you’ll work behind the scenes, weighing and mixing medications and ensuring proper drug interaction.

Our Cosmetology Program incorporates 1500 hours of comprehensive hands-on learning to provide a complete understanding of beauty. The program includes instruction in shampooing, permanent waving, hair cutting, color and texture, fashion trends, makeup and state licensing preparation.
